QUESTION
AOS Interview - Name Correction
Asked on Feb 27th, 2014 on Immigration - District of Columbia
More details to this question:
I made a mistake while completing my husbands I-765, I-465, and I-130. He has four names. I ran out of room in the middle name section and put his second middle in the last name section. Now USCIS think he has two last names. I tried getting this corrected several times through the call center to no avail. Now our interview is approaching. Is this something easily corrected during the interview or will it cause major problems for us? Will he be denied? Will his background need to be rechecked?

A name correction can be taken care of at the time of a U.S.C.I.S. adjustment of status interview with the interviewing officer. However, new security background checks will have to be conducted that will delay any adjudication of your husband's case. That is because U.S.C.I.S. likely did not run the correct name when it went through his background checks, and so will have to do it again.
